"Morbidly obese wellness nurses administer flu shots that don’t prevent pneumonia deaths and cause dementia."

Gotta laugh at your picturesque turn of phrase.

The full cost is indeed very high. Unsustainable in my view and one of the main reasons why the 'West' is failing.

The new bicycle path here around the harbour is barely wide enough for one bike in places. It also is for pedestrians so that in summer when the pedestrians come back out you can guarantee lots of animosity for cyclists. And if they hop back on the road more animosity as they have their own path don't they? Also the narrowness of the path in places guarantees some dips in the harbour for cyclists.
